If there is no digital camera in the room and you have a camera on your phone, use it.  It was especially useful recently when the Mom had a c section and everyone was getting ready to take the baby to the nursery.  I snapped some pictures of the baby so I could show them to the Mom while they were stitching her up.  Another time when the visitors were limited and both sets of first time grandparents had to take turns.  I softened the blow to the ones who got 2nd viewing by showing the pictures I had takekn with the camera on my phone.  Linda B.
